Very nice loadout you've got there. I always see you using that S. Revolver. Do you ever use the Ambassador?

IMO the Ambassador is one of the finest sidegrades in the game. Just like the Flare Gun compared to the Pyro's shotgun. There are moments when I'm using the Revolver and I really wish I had equipped the Ambassador, and then I switch to the Ambassador and there are moments where the Revolver would have suited me better.

Yeah, I generally stick to my trusty Revolver. I really do need more practice with Ambassador headshots. A lot of times there are some long range picks I could have made if I had the headshots. At others the added bodyshot damage and damage against buildings have saved me.

The Enforcer really feels unnecessary, considering how powerful the stock Revolver is (60 damage for a closerange bodyshot is more than enough) and the Ambassador balancing skill and reward for those 102 damage headshots.

Everyone shut up and kiss me.

If we are gonna do it often we should give everyone a chance to play. I'm fond of medic.




Damn. Every American better vote for someone who will add to the military budget. Dog needs a mic.
Pangloss too. It just ain't the same without his "oral" hijinks.

That last second autobalance on Hightower was awful. :(

Other than that, pretty good rounds tonight. Got some uber Medic stabs in and witnessed Sixghost's double taunt kill.
 
I want to take a moment to apologize to the medics who heal me and I screw up their ubers and probably do a horrible job of protecting them. I'm not a good soldier to partner up with. :(
 
Sometimes I forget I'm on the Jank and I start playing my Dumbass Demoman class.

I apologize to the teams I was a part of tonight for my worthless play

I actually read C&P last semester. If you've been enjoying it, you should just bull rush through it.
 
Wooo hell week is finally over for me. 2 tests, 2 quizzes, and a major paper was due. I'll try to hop on tomorrow night, haven't played in like 2 weeks.
 
decal tool doesn't work perfectly :(

my clan pride looks decent in the preview, but not as cool as the image i made lolol (colors don't match up perfectly) and there's only a certain amount of colors you can use.

there's a trick to keep the original colors for Flair, but the white doesn't show up as brightly as it should in the preview (haven't checked in game, too scared to try :|).

They were supposed to allow the original colors again, but that news came out months ago.

Gonna try and make some different designs later. Will probably end up trying a design on the Flair first.
 
Edit: o.o how are points calculated?

Since I have the most points, I can only assume it's a function of overall sexiness.

Also, what happened to the server tonight? I don't even think it reached 24 players and on a Friday no less? I have a feeling that Kirsten and SteveWinwood both being "out of town" is no mere coincidence and that they've actually teamed up and are systematically taking out Gaffers.

in that case, Alien > Zeke.

Maybe they played 4 characters at the sane time.

I got taken out to Hooters for a free meal, so I chose that. I thought about you guys though.

Wonder what Alien did to get banned.

Points are just average HL stats points earned per hour connected to the server over the last two weeks. They're just for figuring out how to balance the teams when we make teams. That's why you get a 30% bonus if you have a mic (last time we did this we had balanced team, but one team pretty much all had mics while the other only had like 2 mic players. The mic team won all rounds).

Priority determines your eligibility to play. When it comes to making teams players with higher priority will always be added first. Priority starts at 3 for everyone. You lose 1 priority for every highlander match you played in over the last 30 days.

For Highlander, is it only default loadouts?
It'll be everything goes. Last time we did everything, but the Christmas weapons because they were still only available through buying and lucky crafts. Now since everything is easy to get everything goes.

If, by some chance, a patch that adds new weapons goes up on Monday or Tuesday those weapons will be banned until they become common enough that everyone who wants it can easily get it.
 
To collect points through stats there has to be a minimum amount of people right? But it still tracks your time connected... Yeah that's totally why my points are so low...

There's something wrong with your point algorithm. It says I have the most points, even before mic bonus. There's no way I got that many after showing up less than five nights in the last two weeks.

Do people get less points for not filling in every class? I'm going to have to go and edit my choices later then...

Ah, this is probably why. I make it a point to join the server once it's over 12 people, unless I'm trying to help seed it.

Yup. I also spend a lot of time testing server stuff when no one else is on, so that skews my stats too. I'll change the minimum down to 4 (from 6) so next time it'll be a little more accurate. Also, as we play more highlander matches I'll keep track of highlander win/loss ratio and work that into the points somehow.

Nope.
